I personally dont know. I assume that the plan is attached to your number. Before buying, call virgin mobile. Giving you head warning though, this phone gets problems after 6 months.

also - a different phone, but I bought on amazon - had the touch screen stop working, it was still under warranty and Virgin Mobile sent me a new one to replace ( I sent malfunctioning one back) and it didn't cost anything. So it makes no difference really. If you are hooking up to VM they will provide great customer support, has been my experience anyway.

How about looking to purchase the phone from a merchant located in the country where you reside in instead of an international merchant? I reside in the U.S. Therefore I preferred making a purchase for this phone from a U.S. seller.

It isn't a problem at all. I did so with very little difficulty. You should start by going to their website. What I found is that when I tried to enter in the serial Number from the new Volt, they wouldn't accept it. The reason was that I was moving up to a new plan and they wanted to make sure that I was aware of the pricing plan upgrade. I had to call their toll free help center. The young lady there walked me through setting up the phone and helped to make sure everything worked right. I now have a nice new LG Volt working on the same number I had before. My kudos to Virgin on their customer service as well as on the Volt. I hope this helps

NO. I purchased this phone and took it to London where I bought a SIM card. the phone would NOT work. Fortunately, I had a second unlocked phone that worked flawlessly. I tried to return the phone but by the time I returned from London, I was informed it was too late to return it. I am very unhappy.

Norberto, my experience was not good, the phone arrived on time and time but the problem was when I got to my country (Argentina) where he would use it. Buy a phone unlocked and was NOT !! I had to pay a fee of 200 USD for it to be unlocked in my country because it was a phone to be used by ATT. very frustrating and the charger was not original, wine wire loose and I had to buy another. I went carisimo I feel really cheated! I repaid the money but was to send a private email NY etc etc I also went out a fortune. I do not find a reliable seller for a product on that expensive. Good luck and excuse my English

I could be wrong so don't hold me to this, but a warranty on an virgin mobile phone should be available to you during or right after after activation through the virgin mobile website. The reason why I say this is because when I activated my phone after it shipped to me from amazon the warranty was offered to me during activation process on the virgin mobile website. Hope this helps. :)Unless you are speaking of a shipping warranty or that the phone has been refurbished through an outside source. Than I really don't know anything there.

Yes but if you buying from the same company good luck because once i got it and took to metro pcs to activate it they said the phone was stolen and they could not activate so i ended up having to send the phone back and didn't Get all my money back from the company

Yes, I activated mine in the US. I signed up with O2 London and did not use it until I got off the plane there. If I used it here it would've roamed to a local carrier and cost quite a bit.

I couldn't activate it because the o2 website and phone system both require a UK credit card (as verified by the postal code). To activate it I had to buy top-up credits (you can use cash or credit) at a corner store, and then apply that. If you have a contact in the UK, you could potentially get them to do this part for you and send you the code.

Anybody can activate it. As long as you have a sims card. But I seriously do NOT recommend buying this phone. I thought it would be cool because the screen is so big. And I completely ignored the reviews. DO NOT BUY IT.

I could not get it to activate. YOu would be better to purchase a 29.00 phone from the company and use the card that way. You can also buy a phone at the airport but I would go ahead and prepurchase the phone that way you will know it works. good luck.

I did this last month...bought a phone, AT&T; put a sim in it for me on a Go Phone plan. It's a good deal. It should work for anyone.

Yes! I think it's the best phone that you can get that works on the government free phones through Assurance Wireless. It's easy to activate it on the Virgin Mobile web site; just follow the directions, and you're up and communicating.
